OBLIQUE: Dark Cello Explorations

OBLIQUE is a Kontakt instrument off the beaten path. A broken, haunting, sometimes terrifying yet an incredibly expressive cello instrument. This is most definitely not the instrument you want to create beautiful, epic, soaring melodies — it is a nasty beast, one that latches onto the dark corners of the mind and doesn’t let go.

We recorded master cellist Sonia Bruno taking her instrument to the absolute extremes, from the utmost pianissimo super sul tasto to the most brutal bowing we’ve ever heard, creating sheer insanity and aggression.

Oblique - Dark Cello Explorations

Oblique by The Very Loud Indeed Co. takes a cello to the absolute extremes. Master cellist Sonia Bruno was recorded taking her instrument to the absolute extremes, from the utmost pianissimo super sul tasto to the most brutal bowing we’ve ever heard, creating sheer insanity and aggression. 

The sounds in Oblique are dry, dark, tormented and twisted. With the included FX (distortion, reverb and delay) you can easily transform any sound into something new.

There are 9 articulations in total to choose from:

  1. Long Sul Tasto – soft & thin quivering tone
  2. Staccato -sharp and upclose attack
  3. Glissando – slow moving single step down
  4. Glissando Harmonics – fast moving harmonics
  5. Tremolo Glissando Harmonics  – fast bowed harmonics
  6. Circular Bowing – constant bowing
  7. Crunches – deep revving sounds
  8. Col Legno – striking the string with the bow
  9. Body Taps – thumping the cello with the body

 

The sample library is ideal for creating underscore, cinematic, tension, trailer music and more.
